  1. Angry patient theory

    Selke replied to snowfreeze's topic in General Nursing

    No advice here snowfreeze ... your post really stood out to me. i just want to say that I think you exemplify what best nursing care is about by trying to figure out what lies behind these outbursts,...

  2. Lost Midwife

    Selke replied to Belinda-wales's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yay! Lost Midwife, you will soon be Found ... hang in there and keep up posted. Maybe we'll meet up one day soon in

  3. Any hiring in Fremont, San Jose or Hayward now?

    Selke replied to hannahslb's topic in General Nursing

    Check with Kaiser Permanente (http://www.kp.org). There are several Kaiser facilities in the South Bay area. The one in Santa Clara (a short drive from Fremont) has many Asian RNs, staff, and MDs....

  4. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    soPraNo, I completely agree with you. Do you have the exact reference for your AWHONN citation? Where can I get a copy of this? I would like to see this myself. I will ask the clinical nurse...

  5. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I say give a pt a bolus, I literally mean the bolus given for additional pain relief. I have much less problem with setting up the pump part and priming the tubing, although I do feel this is in...

  6. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    Selke replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These are bupivacaine/fentanyl continuous epidurals. Labor epidurals are a bit different from post op epidurals for pain relief in an ICU -- I could see the latter being within the scope of practice...

  7. Alta Bates Summit Oakland or Berkeley L/D??

    Selke replied to mslema's topic in California Nursing

    The maternity services of Summit merged with ABMC in Berkeley in 2004, so for the past 3-4 years only ABMC has L&D. The Summit staff moved to ABMC. ABMC RNs do sterile spec exams in triage. The...

  8. Lost Midwife

    Selke replied to Belinda-wales's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Belinda, I feel you are giving up before exploring all your options. Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing is experienced in tailoring an MSN towards UK trained midwives. It is a distance...

  9. Fnp/cnm

    Selke replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Many Frontier students get their MSN in midwifery then get their FNP as well, or vice versa. It's much easier to get a certificate in another NP track once you already have one ... you just take the...

  10. Speech problems

    Selke replied to brooklynnatty's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Find a speech pathologist/therapist who can help you. It will be worth every penny you pay. Look for a speech pathology educational program in your area: you should be able to get reduced rates...

  11. Sent home from clinicals :(

    Selke replied to Phillippians4:13's topic in General Nursing

    I just wonder, since the instructor acted as if nothing had happened, and your advisor hasn't returned your call yet, if this instructor has a reputation for being difficulty or a problem for other...

  12. Doctor won't back up his telephone orders!

    Selke replied to In_Chantress's topic in General Nursing

    Where is/was your charge nurse, your unit manager, in dealing with this surgeon? was anybody else on the floor with you at the time who was higher up in the food chain? Did you involve your...

  13. Harrassment by Unit manager--what to do?

    Selke replied to berniemcr's topic in General Nursing

    This manager is abusing and bullying you. Horrible. I experienced something similar in my first job but I quit after 2 months. You need to go to HR and perhaps see if an employment attorney could...

  14. What am I, chopped liver?

    Selke replied to sunshineonleith's topic in General Nursing

    My mother has done the same thing. She has always told me since a small child, no matter what I say or do, that I don't know what I'm talking about or am lying and will start a personal attack. Yes,...

  15. Formulating Healthcare Clinics for the Gay Community

    Selke replied to divokevan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is not only Howard Brown in Chicago, but in San Francisco there is the entire SF Dept. of Public Health, and UCSF and SF General Hospital, which carry on a huge amount of research aimed at...

  16. Financing the whole thing

    Selke replied to jc13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes! I had a good salary as staff nurse in the highest paying part of the country, northern CA. And no, the school won't take into consideration that you don't have savings, that you won't be making...

  17. Rush University.....no more??

    Selke replied to ICUclerk12's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Um, most clinical nurse specialist positions were wiped out in hospital budgets in the 1990s when hospitals were trying to slash RN staff numbers to save $$$$. Surely Rush knows that. Maybe they're...

  18. Northern CA coast hospitals

    Selke replied to PEDS~NURSE's topic in Travel

    Santa Rosa has Sutter Santa Rosa, Kaiser, and Memorial. However, Sutter was threatening to close that facility and I don't know what happened with that. You might try looking at the Kaiser and...

  19. Best primary care texts (both APRN & MD FP)?

    Selke posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just wondering ... which texts for primary care (both APRN and MD) and internal medicine do you all think are the best? Which ones do you like the best and use for reference books on the job? Which...

  20. I feel isolated and left out

    Selke replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    Have you spoken with HR about this issue? There may be a hospital policy to speak English while on the job. Speaking English while at work is a policy in many hospitals to prevent just this kind of...

  21. Conflict resolution

    Selke replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.cnvc.org/index.htm Center for Nonviolent

  22. Do You Look Like A Nurse?

    Selke replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that many nursing professors, especially the "older" old school women, look and act like post-Vatican II nuns. They dress alike (plain and frumpy, polyester, sensible shoes, no...

  23. To those with a PhD.....

    Selke replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't have a PhD but I just want to say, DO IT. JUST DO IT. Don't even think about a job. You'll continue to be older no matter what you do and you will regret not spending it on a goal that will...

  24. Preceptors

    Selke replied to LaborNurse1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That list from Frontier may or may not be up to date. Some students have had problems with the official lists not being up to date (depends on where and who). Check out...

  25. super powers...

    Selke replied to registerednut1221's topic in General Nursing

    The ability to predict exact date and time of birth of a baby. Then I would take that capability to predict winning Lotto numbers and I would retire pronto from
